Yeast Infections: Natural Prevention and Remedies

Lavender, Myrhh and Tea tree oil

This method enlists the help of a variety of essential oils, notably Lavender and tea tree. These oils are known for being wonderful antioxidants as well as being able to kill a variety of fungi, including yeast. Multiple studies have shown lavender oil is able to reduce the amount of Candida albicans in the vagina, helping to eliminate and control further infections. A huge bonus is that essential oils don’t come attached with some of the nasty side effects associated with some of the more popular medications used for treatment.

A popular method is to soak a cotton tampon in a combination of between two to four drops of essential oils and two teaspoons coconut oil. Some people also add a half teaspoon of raw honey and one teaspoon of plain yogurt. Sleep with the tampon in and thoroughly clean the vagina in the morning. Repeat this process for a week.
